HOW WE APPOINT A REFEREE

Appointing a referee

The appointment of Match Officials to games is announced each Monday with nineteen Referees available to officiate ten Premier League games and six selected Football League games.

 

When making the appointments several aspects have to be taken into account.

 

  • Current Form of the official
  • Position on Merit Table
  • Exposure to clubs with regard to frequency of appointment
  • Proximity to ground or City in which they were born or live
  • Any history with the clubs involved
  • Team that they support
  • International Appointments ( Referee has a UEFA game on Thursday will only be available for a Sunday or Monday game.
  • Experience
